 SIMPLE TRUTH 

You don’t need:

• A perfect website

• Fancy branding

• 10,000 followers

You need:

👉 Conversations
👉 Confidence
👉 Consistency

 EXECUTION PLAN (DO THIS DAILY)

• 20 messages

• 1 post

• 5 meaningful comments

• 2–5 calls booked

Do this for 30 days…

You will get clients.

I’m giving you 3 assets you can use immediately:

1. DM Script (that converts to calls)

2. Sales Call Framework (that closes)

3. 30-Day Sprint Plan (that gets clients fast)

This is how you actually make money as a coach.

 1. HIGH-CONVERTING DM SCRIPT

 Step 1: Warm Opener (Start Conversation)

Option A (Soft & Natural):
“Hey [Name], I saw your post about [topic] — curious, what’s been your biggest challenge with that lately?”

Option B (Direct & Curious):
“Hey [Name], quick question — are you currently working on [goal/problem] or is that something you’re still figuring out?”

 Step 2: Build Connection

“Got it. That’s actually more common than you think.
What have you tried so far?”

➡️ Let them talk. Your goal = understand, not sell.

 Step 3: Identify Pain

“What’s the hardest part about that right now?”

“Why is that important for you to fix?”

➡️ You want emotional + practical pain.

 Step 4: Micro-Value

“That makes sense.
From what you’re saying, it sounds like the real issue is [insight].”

➡️ This builds authority FAST.

 Step 5: Transition to Call

“Happy to share a few ideas that could help —
want to jump on a quick 20-min call sometime this week?”

 Step 6: Booking

“Cool — I’ve got [time] or [time], what works for you?”

 Step 7: Confirmation

“Great — looking forward to it.
We’ll focus on getting you clarity on [their problem] and next steps.”

 KEY RULES FOR DMs

• Don’t pitch in text

• Keep messages short

• Ask questions > give advice

• Move to a call quickly

 2. SALES CALL FRAMEWORK (CLOSE CLIENTS)

 Structure:

Connect → Diagnose → Gap → Offer → Close

1. CONNECT (5 min)

“Hey [Name], great to meet you.
Before we dive in — what made you book this call?”

2. DIAGNOSE (15–20 min)

Ask:

• “What’s your current situation?”

• “What’s not working right now?”

• “What have you tried?”

• “What’s your goal over the next 3–6 months?”

3. AMPLIFY THE PAIN

“What happens if nothing changes in the next 6 months?”

➡️ This creates urgency.

4. DEFINE THE GAP

“Right now you’re here [A]
You want to be here [B]
The gap is [problem]”

➡️ Make it crystal clear.

5. TRANSITION

“Would you like help closing that gap?”

(If yes → continue)

6. OFFER (Simple & Clear)

“Based on what you’ve said, here’s what I’d recommend…”

Explain:

• Duration (e.g. 12 weeks / 20 weeks)

• What they get

• Outcome

7. PRICE (CONFIDENTLY)

“The investment is R5,000.”

➡️ STOP TALKING.

Silence closes deals.

8. HANDLE OBJECTIONS

“I need to think about it”

“Totally fair — what specifically would you need to think through?”

“I can’t afford it”

“Got it — is it the investment or the timing?”

9. CLOSE

“Would you like to get started?”

 RULES FOR SALES CALLS

• Don’t over-explain

• Don’t rush the diagnosis

• Don’t discount too quickly

• Confidence > persuasion

 FINAL TRUTH

• Waiting until you’re “ready”

 POWER MOVE (ADVANCED)

After they answer, say:

“From what you’re saying, it sounds like [problem].”

This positions you instantly as a coach — not a salesperson.

.

I’m giving you 3 things you can use immediately:

1. Objection Handling Scripts (word-for-word)

2. Natural Closing Lines (no pressure, high conversion)

3. Full WhatsApp Funnel (daily client flow)

 1. OBJECTION HANDLING SCRIPTS (WORD-FOR-WORD)

❌ Objection: “I need to think about it”

You say:

“Totally fair — usually when someone says that, there’s one main thing they’re unsure about.
Would you be open to sharing what that is?”

➡️ (Let them answer)

Then:

“Got it — if we could solve that, would you feel comfortable moving forward?”

❌ Objection: “I can’t afford it”

You say:

“I understand — is it more about the investment itself or the timing right now?”

➡️ (Clarify first — don’t assume)

If money:

“Makes sense. Let me ask you — what’s the cost of staying where you are for the next 6 months?”

Then:

“If this helped you [desired outcome], would that be worth it?”

❌ Objection: “I don’t have time”

You say:

“That’s exactly why this becomes important.
If nothing changes, will you have more time… or less?”

Then:

“This is about creating time through clarity and structure — not adding more chaos.”

❌ Objection: “I’ve tried things before”

You say:

“That makes sense — what do you think didn’t work in those situations?”

➡️ (Let them reflect)

Then:

“What we’re doing differently here is [your unique approach].
Does that feel like something that would address the gap?”

❌ Objection: “I’m not sure it will work”

You say:

“That’s a fair concern — what would need to happen for you to feel confident this would work?”

Then:

“Based on what you’ve told me, here’s why I believe this will work for you…”

❌ Objection: “Now’s not the right time”

You say:

“Totally get that — when do you feel would be the right time?”

➡️ (They usually say something vague)

Then:

“What would need to change between now and then?”

 RULE FOR OBJECTIONS

👉 Don’t fight the objection
👉 Explore it
👉 Reframe it
👉 Bring them back to the outcome

 2. NATURAL CLOSING LINES (NO PRESSURE)

These feel like coaching, not selling

 Soft Close

“Based on everything we’ve discussed… would you like help with this?”

 Direct Close

“Are you ready to get started?”

 Assumptive Close

“Cool — would you prefer to start this week or next?”

 Clarity Close

“Do you feel this is what you need right now?”

 Future-Based Close

“If nothing changes, where do you think you’ll be in 3–6 months?”

➡️ Then:

“Is that something you want… or do you want to change it?”

 Commitment Close

“On a scale of 1–10, how committed are you to solving this?”

If <8:

“What would need to happen to get you to a 9 or 10?”

 Decision Close (Powerful)

“It sounds like you know what needs to happen — the only question is, do you want to move forward now?”

 KEY PRINCIPLE

Closing is not pressure.

👉 It’s helping someone make a decision they already know is right.

 3. FULL WHATSAPP FUNNEL (DAILY CLIENT FLOW)

This is your simple system to generate clients every day

 STEP 1: DAILY OUTREACH

Every day:

• Message 20 people

• Use your DM questions

• Start conversations (not pitches)

 STEP 2: CONVERSATION FLOW

Message 1:
“Hey — quick question, are you currently working on growing your coaching or still figuring things out?”

Message 2:
“What’s been the biggest challenge with that?”

Message 3:
“What have you tried so far?”

Message 4 (INSIGHT):
“From what you’re saying, it sounds like [problem].”

Message 5 (TRANSITION):
“Happy to share a few ideas — want to jump on a quick call?”

 STEP 3: BOOK CALL

“Cool — I’ve got [time] or [time], what works?”

 STEP 4: RUN CALL (USE FRAMEWORK)

• Diagnose

• Identify pain

• Present offer

• Close

 STEP 5: FOLLOW-UP SYSTEM

If no response:

Day 2:
“Hey — just saw this slipped, still relevant?”

Day 4:
“Quick one — are you still looking to improve [their goal]?”

Day 7:
“All good if timing’s off — happy to reconnect later 👍”

 STEP 6: POST DAILY STATUS

Use WhatsApp Status:

• Coaching insights

• Client wins

• Short videos

• Questions (“Who wants help with X?”)

 STEP 7: INBOUND FLOW

People reply to your status →

You respond:

“Nice — what’s going on for you right now?”

➡️ Same conversation flow

 DAILY SYSTEM (NON-NEGOTIABLE)

• 20 messages

• 5–10 conversations

• 2–5 calls booked

• 1–2 sales

 FINAL TRUTH

Most coaches fail because they:

• Overthink

• Avoid selling

• Wait to feel “ready”

This system works because:

👉 It’s simple

👉 It’s uncomfortable (at first)

 HOW TO USE THESE (CRITICAL)

 3. BOARDROOM PITCH SCRIPT (HIGH IMPACT)

This is how you speak to executives.

 OPENING (STRONG)

“Thank you for the time today.
From our discussions, it’s clear that while the business is performing, there are specific gaps in leadership, alignment, and consistency that are limiting full potential.”

 PROBLEM

“What we’re seeing is not a lack of capability —
it’s a gap between potential and execution.”

 IMPACT

“That gap is showing up as:

• Missed targets

• Inconsistent performance

• Leadership friction

• Lost productivity

And over time, that becomes expensive.”

 SOLUTION

“What we’re proposing is a structured coaching intervention designed to close that gap — not through theory, but through real-time application.”

 OUTCOME

“The outcome is:

• Stronger, more confident leaders

• Better decision-making

• Increased accountability

• Measurable performance improvement”

 INVESTMENT FRAME

“This is not a cost — it’s a performance investment.”

 CLOSE

“The key question is not whether this works —
it’s whether solving this problem now is a priority.”

 FINAL LINE (POWERFUL)

“If we can align on that, the next step is simple — we move forward and start creating results.”

 FINAL TRUTH (ENTERPRISE LEVEL)

At this level:

• You are not selling coaching

• You are solving business problems

• You are speaking to outcomes, not emotions

This is the shift from chasing clients → attracting corporates.

LinkedIn inbound works when you position yourself as:
👉 a thought leader
👉 a problem solver for business outcomes
👉 not “just a coach”

Here’s a complete LinkedIn strategy to attract corporate clients consistently.

 1. POSITIONING (THIS IS EVERYTHING)

If your profile looks like this:

❌ “Life Coach | Helping you find your purpose”

You lose corporates instantly.

✅ Your Positioning Should Be:

“I help [companies / leaders] achieve [business outcome] by fixing [specific problem]”

Examples:

• “I help leadership teams improve performance and accountability”

• “I help managers lead high-performing teams without burnout”

• “I help organisations close the gap between strategy and execution”

 HEADLINE FORMULA

[Outcome] + [Audience] + [Mechanism]

Example:

Helping corporate leaders improve performance & accountability through structured coaching systems

 2. PROFILE OPTIMISATION (INBOUND MACHINE)

🔷 Banner

Your banner should say:

👉 “Leadership Coaching for High-Performance Teams”
👉 “Helping organisations improve performance, alignment & accountability”

🔷 About Section (Simple Structure)

1. What you do

2. Who you help

3. Problems you solve

4. Outcomes you create

5. Call to action

 Example:

I work with organisations and leadership teams to improve performance, alignment, and accountability.

Most companies don’t have a strategy problem — they have an execution problem.

Through structured coaching, I help leaders:
• Improve decision-making
• Increase accountability
• Drive measurable results

If you’re looking to strengthen leadership capability and performance, feel free to reach out.

 3. CONTENT STRATEGY (THIS DRIVES INBOUND)

 RULE:

Post like a consultant, not a motivational speaker.

 5 CONTENT TYPES (ROTATE DAILY)

1. 🔹 PROBLEM POSTS

“Most leadership teams don’t fail because of strategy…
They fail because of poor execution and lack of accountability.”

2. 🔹 INSIGHT POSTS

“The biggest gap in organisations today is not skill — it’s clarity.”

3. 🔹 AUTHORITY POSTS

“In a recent coaching session with a leadership team, we uncovered…”

4. 🔹 FRAMEWORK POSTS

“Here’s a simple framework to improve team accountability:

1. Clear expectations

2. Ownership

3. Feedback loops”

5. 🔹 CASE STUDY POSTS

“A team I worked with improved performance by focusing on one thing…”

 4. HOOKS (FIRST LINE MATTERS)

Use:

• “Most companies are getting this wrong…”

• “The real reason teams underperform is…”

• “Here’s what nobody tells you about leadership…”

• “This is costing your business more than you think…”

 5. CALL TO ACTION (SUBTLE)

Don’t say:
❌ “DM me for coaching”

Say:

👉 “Happy to share insights if this is something you’re dealing with”
👉 “Curious how others are approaching this”
👉 “Open to discussing this further”

 6. ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY (HIDDEN GOLD)

Daily:

• Comment on posts from:

  • CEOs

  • HR leaders

  • Directors

 COMMENT LIKE THIS:

❌ “Great post”

✅

“Interesting point on accountability — in my experience, the real issue is lack of clarity on ownership.”

👉 This gets profile clicks.

 7. INBOUND FLOW (HOW CLIENTS COME TO YOU)

1. They see your content

2. They read your insights

3. They check your profile

4. They DM you or engage

 WHEN THEY ENGAGE:

You reply:

“Appreciate that — curious, is this something you’re currently dealing with in your team?”

➡️ Move to conversation → call → deal

 8. CONSISTENCY PLAN (NON-NEGOTIABLE)

Daily:

• 1 post

• 5–10 comments

• Reply to all engagement

 9. WEEKLY STRUCTURE

• Mon: Problem post

• Tue: Insight

• Wed: Case study

• Thu: Framework

• Fri: Bold opinion

• Sat: Personal leadership lesson

• Sun: Light reflection

 10. POSITIONING SHIFT (MOST IMPORTANT)

You are not:

❌ A coach selling sessions

You are:

✅ A performance partner for organisations

 FINAL TRUTH

Inbound works when:

• You sound like you understand business

• You speak to outcomes

• You show authority consistently

 SIMPLE EXECUTION PLAN

Do this for 30 days:

• 30 posts

• 300 comments

• 50+ inbound conversations

👉 You will get corporate leads.

If you want next level, I can build you:

• 30 days of LinkedIn posts written for you

• Viral-style posts (high reach + authority)

• Corporate case study content that closes deals
